In which situation would a company be more inclined to choose an AWS managed database service rather than installing and maintaining its own database on an Amazon EC2 instance?
The company needs direct shell access to the underlying operating system to apply custom kernel modules.
The workload depends on a highly customized database build that is not supported by standard managed offerings.
Regulations require the firm to retain physical, hardware-level control of the storage devices that hold the data.
The company wants to lessen operational overhead by having backups, software patching, and basic scaling handled automatically.
Using a managed database service such as Amazon RDS allows AWS to perform routine administration tasks - automated backups, minor version updates, monitoring, and scaling - so the customer can focus on application development instead of infrastructure maintenance. When a business values lower operational burden and built-in automation more than deep customization or host-level control, a managed service is typically the better choice.
